"So you guys do a lot of training?" I asked awkwardly as we walked towards the Academy where we'd be taking the first portion of Chunin Exams.
"Yeah, we did some training together and separate. Not that you would know since we've hardly even seen you in the past two weeks." Daiki grumbled.
"I was helping my sister get ready for Chunin Exams. Seriously, Mom would kill me if she knew that Sakura got herself hurt because she wasn't training. Don't ask how that makes sense, because it doesn't. My mom's just crazy." I said.
"Well, I guess you had to get it from somewhere…" Daiki retorted.
"Shut it, Blindclops!" I said with a glare.
"What?" Makoto and Daiki both said.
"I'm in the middle of thinking of an insulting nickname for you. So that will just have to do for now." I said.'
"Wait. Before we go in, I have some spoilers." I said.
"What do you mean? Like you know what to expect?" Daiki asked.
"Yeah. First test, all I have to tell you is if you raise your hand I'll castrate you. The second test is a battle royale. So, I say play the weak team. Don't act like your strong. Just be chill and act like as if we're weak. That will make people either target us or cast us aside, putting us in an advantage." I said.
"Why would people targeting us help us?" Daiki asked.
"WeAreStrongerThanYourAverageGenin, andAtSometimesItHelpsHavingTheElementOfSurprise." Makoto said.
"Hm. Fine." Daiki said.
We walked through, totally ignoring the genjutsu, as if it wasn't even there, going on to the large room full of Genin. We all sat next to wall and I scanned the room looking for familiar faces and possible threats.
My eyes fell on Gaara of the Sand, the poor bastard that had the raccoon, dog, bear, whatever One Tailed Beast. But weirdly, he didn't look angry or anything, he just looked neutral. I saw a bit of darkness in his eyes, but no where near the level of in the show.
'The hell is going on here?' I thought.
He was standing with his brother, Kan-er-Kankira? I don't remember the puppeteer's name. I expected to see the blond Temari, Gaara's older sister. But oddly I didn't see her. I saw a girl with red hair pulled back into a pony tail with black eyeliner around her eyes. I looked down at her forehead protector and saw The Sand Village symbol.
She looked up and noticed me looking at her. She gave a smirk. I saw her tell Gaara something, then she walked towards me.
"You and I have to talk, Haruno." She said.
"How the fuck do you know my name?" I growled.
"Oh, I'll tell you that if we can talk in private." She said looking at Makoto and Daiki. They stood there as if just daring her to make them move.
"Go on, I guess I have to talk to this bitch." I said, shooing my male teammates off. They gave her a suspicious glare then walked off.
"I know where you came from." She said.
"Bitch, anyone with eyes and the ability to look at my forehead protector can tell where I'm from." I said.
"Not here, not in this life. You come from the real world. Where everything that takes place here is in a manga following Naruto Uzumaki and Team 7. I know everything. I know about Akatsuki, Tobi, Madara, Kaguya. I know everything Naruto-wise. And I need to know what changes you've made to canon so that I can plan and prevent the war accordingly." She said.
"Wait, I'm not the only one?" I asked.
"Of course not, your nothing special. There a few of us, but none of us has managed to infiltrate Konoha, while some have tried, they failed. One did make it in, and found out about you when he was checking the families of Konoha 11. It was simple since you are one of the main character's sibling. So, I know exactly who you are and what you can do. While, I have no idea what you've changed here in Konoha, so I must find out from you. So begin." She said.
"Bitch, first things first, don't tell me what to do. Because I swear to the great god ME I can and will kick your ass." I said.
"Oh, Umeko, that's cute. You do realize who I am. Or did I forget to introduce myself… My name is Mari of the Sand. I'm the younger of twins. The twin of a very protective Gaara, who can and will kill anyone that gets in my way! Me. I'm Pretty, kind, and a total bad ass. I'm very much one to fear, I suppose. So, tell me what I asked, Umeko." She said with a cheerful grin.
'No… This has to be a bluff. No one could have the luck to be reborn as a fucking Jinchuuriki's sister. If anyone it would have been me. No… This isn't happening! It's not right, not natural! I'm god! I'm the most powerful. What is this feeling? Is it fear? No, impossible. This pure, unadulterated rage.' I thought.
"Okay listen up, Mary, you could be the last Uchiha, frankly, you could be the Kazekage for all I care, I won't listen to anyone that's lower than me. Because, in case you haven't noticed I am amazing. We could fight, but it would be useless, not that it wouldn't fun, because I wouldn't tell you shit. I'd just kick your ass, and if Mr. Racoon Panda wanted to get in the action, I'd kick his ass too. Because Naruto's not the only one who can summon." I growled.
"There's no need to be so hostile. I wasn't trying to threaten you, please forgive me!" she said.
"Stop it with the Mary Sue cutesy bitchy bull shit." I grumbled.
"Do remember that I warned you, and you've just signed your own death ticket." She growled.
"I also drew a dick you can suck while I was at it." I retorted, as I walked towards my team who was talking with Kiba and Shino
"Things looked like they were getting hostile over there." Daiki said.
"TheyWereHavingBetsOnWhetherWe'dSeeACatFightOrNot." Makoto said.
"Dude why'd you sell us out!?" Kiba exclaimed.
"MyApologies." Makoto said emotionlessly.
I suddenly heard some yelling and saw Kabuto with his cards.
My glare instantly intensified.
'Orochimaru's little annoying puppet. I could kill him right now, it'd save me the trouble. But, he plays an important part in the war, and a nice fun war wouldn't be anything without some dead people coming back to fight. Oh, pity that.' I thought.
I soon zoned out, and when I blinked my eyes we were 30 minutes into the test.
My eyes widened.
'WHEN THE HELL DID THIS START?!' my mind yelled.
"Having difficulties?" Makoto's voice asked in my head.
"Body control me or something, psychopath. You know that I haven't done none of this." I said.
"Sometimes I wonder who you paid to do your homework in the Academy, because you obviously didn't do anything considering the amount of intelligence, or lack there of-"
"Don't even finish that sentence psychopath." I said.
Suddenly his body that was a few rows in front of me slumped and I felt him taking over.
He quickly wrote down answer after answer until he left 10 blank.
"Your all good, Umeko. You can thank me later."
"Yeah, like that'll happen." I replied in my head. I heard a chuckle before feeling his spirit leave me.
"Alright, Umeko, how'd you know?" Daiki asked.
"Know what?"
"About the test, and not raising your hand!" Daiki exclaimed.
"Hey, you have your sources, I have mine." I said.
'Manga counts as a source, right? Of course it does! If it doesn't, it officially does because I'm me and I can do what ever the fuck I want.'
"Did you know that Anko-sensei was gonna be our proctor?" Daiki asked.
"No." I lied.
Us three were walking towards our sign-in place where I saw Anko standing.
"Anko-sensei!" Makoto and Daiki exclaimed.
"You three have the advantage, since you've trained here, and you know it left and right. I can't stay here long, but I can be here long enough to wish you luck, and try not die. I'm looking at you, Umeko." Anko said.
"Thanks for the trust." I grumbled.
Anko chuckled and ruffled my hair.
"Umeko's in charge, got it?" Anko said.
"What?" we all exclaimed.
"I think it's her time to shine, so, you guys have fun and think strategically~" she said before disappearing.
"Well maggots, seems the pecking order is a definite right now!" I said confidently as we grabbed our Earth scroll.
"Let's go bust some heads!" Daiki said.
"Bitchin'!" I exclaimed.
We busted in running a bit before stopping for planning.
"I have a plan. We should put a genjutsu on a normal scroll making it look like it's the real scroll. Then have me seemingly alone holding it, resulting in me being attacked and you two ambushing them." I said.
"That's a terrible idea." Daiki deadpanned.
"Shut up. It's brilliant. You can use your Byakugan to watch from a distance and one they try to fight me, I either instantly hand their ass's to them, or Makoto can put them in his genjutsu." I said.
"ElementOfSurpriseIsKeyInABattleRoyaleSituation. IAgreeWithThisPlan. HavingUmekoDoItIsImportantSinceWomenTendToBeBiggerTargetsThanMen, I'mSorryToSay." Makoto said.
"ashlkfdskjflk… bigger than a man… ndklfjalfdj" I grumbled.
"Fine, so split up." I said.
Both of them jumped away in opposite directions and I ran forward, making sure to run slowly to make myself look weak. I held my storage scroll hoping Makoto's genjutsu was on it.
I was alone for about a good hour until I heard Makoto's voice in my head.
"Your being followed by a lone Ame nin. He's at your current 3 o'clock with a possibly poisoned katana, he's coming in." Makoto said.
I instantly stopped, deciding to keep up my scared girl act.
"H-Hello? Is there anyone there?" I called.
There was a boy instantly in front of me, no taller than Sasuke.
"Hello there, girly. Would you mind handing over that pretty little Earth scroll of yours? I'd hate to have to hurt you." He said.
"M-My teammates will get mad at me!" I exclaimed.
"Oh, well that's too bad. Should have just taken my offer!" he said, instantly having the katana at my throat.
"Soaring Bird!" Makoto's voice said. I could feel his genjutsu in the air.
The Ame boy was now staggering looking confused. Makoto was instantly there, he hit most of his major chakra points. The guy looked so weak, now. Which meant…
"Plum Blossom Punch!" I yelled giving him a full powered chakra enfused punch to the stomach sending him into a tree.
"Umeko! Why did you just insert yourself into our awesome duo gen/taijutsu move?!" Daiki said.
"Because that alone didn't knock the bastard out. I had to make sure he was all tuckered out before we could get the scroll." I said.
I checked his pocket and found… nothing.
"Damn it! This guy didn't have it on him!" I exclaimed.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain. I looked down to see the Ame guy that was very much awake, and his kunai was going right into my leg.
"Good luck finishing the exam with a poisoned leg, bitch!" he said.
Makoto instantly put him in one hell of a jutsu.
I wouldn't know because I was too busy screaming bloody murder.
"WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?!" Daiki panicked looking to Makoto whose face just looked livid.
"I have no clue." He said.
"UMEKO, HEAL YOURSELF OR SOMETHING!" Daiki demanded.
"It doesn't work like that, idiot!" I yelled.
I quickly went into my bag and got my disinfectant and gauze.
I disinfected the wound which caused pain galore (yay…) and wrapped it.
"Alright, the bad news is, I'm not gonna be able to be much help cause I'm outta commission. But, the good news is that I have a way for us to get the scroll we need." I said.
I heard some screams and even a "Sasuke!" fairly near us.
"Oh, there's our ticket now. Follow those screams." I said.
Makoto picked me up and put me on his back.
"I thought you didn't touch people in fear of like panic attacks." I said.
"Don'tRemindMe." He said.
Soon, I saw a sobbing pink haired girl and two boys that were passed out.
"Sakura, do you need some help?" I asked.
She looked up.
"U-Umeko!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah, the great almighty god, Umeko Haruno is here!"
"Ahem." Daiki said.
"And guests." I finished dryly.
Oh my god! I'm so excited! Not about this chapter it was rushed and I wasn't too excited about this one. But the next one! Ooooh do I have plans for it! Fun! Fun! Fun!
Bloodshot111: I didn't really have inspiration, but I just wanted to get this part over with XD go figure...
Umeko: I'm amazing, I know. You don't have to tell me...
SatsumiUzumaki: Karin... I forgot Karin was even at Chunin Exams... Yeah, but it wasn't them. You know me, can't resist making OC's (It's fun!). And I tried to make Mari Mary-Sueish. That's why I named her Mari. Buuut, I suck at making Mary-Sues on purpose. If you saw me a year ago on my old account *shudderis* I had this Mary-Sue named Moriko Daichi. If you've read that fic, I apologize greatly XD
Umeko: No, you da bomb. Just kidding, I'm the bomb. No wait, I'm the radioactive bomb. Your the grenade. Yes! BWUHAHAHAHAHA!
Legendz:Well, Mari of the Sand. You have no idea how much I wanted to make her a Jinchuuriki AND name her Aiko (means love child, you know me, wanting to reference Gaara) But with Mari I plan on doing things with her I don't really see any fics doing. So... Yeah...
Counting Sinful Stars: Hmph. I just helped the weakling 'cause Mom would kill me if she found out Sakura died or almost died in the Forest of Death while I was there too. I was only doing it to save my own ass... Yeah... That's it...
Himeno Kazehito: Mulan, an amazing movie indeed.
bacon of doom: Shhhhhhh... Don't call me nice. That will hurt my image. Just say paragon. No body knows what that means unless they play Infamous... Or Google words they don't know while watching Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
Tough chick: Of course, I'm god of mischief as well... Wait, does that mean I'm the god of pranks? I NOW BESTOW THE GOD OF PRANKS TITLE ON NARUTO UZUMAKI! Yeah... He can have fun with that...
If Hinata was to use the Plum Blossom Punch/Cherry Blossom Clash, what do you think it would be called?
